GDT: Game 56: Red Wings vs wild 12:30 pm et 2/22/25

[GMR]

Another top ten complete bust. Big and soft. Excels at mediocrity.

And isn't even Swedish. A big soft, Canadian boy.

Gustafsson is Swedish but has limited skill.

Our pro scouting has failed us bringing in players like Gustafsson, Holl, Petry, Compher, and Tarasenko.

This team is being carried by one line and a powerplay that ultimately lost them the game but scored two other goals. They're not good enough even strength.

 

[Pavels Dog]

First McLellan game where his coaching seemed to lose us the game. Super weird personnel decisions leading to both 3-2 and 3-3 goals. Too much Tarasenko. Not enough Edvinsson.

 

[izlez]

Ahhh we’re back.

If Kane’s shot in OT was a quarter inch lower, we’d be talking about a long playoff run right now. But because it didn’t go in, we’re talking about a pathetic team that won’t win again for weeks

 

[SantosHalper]

Complete fluke win for Minny, Wings helped them more than their players helped themselves.

It was a pathetic collapse regardless whether we won in OT or not.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

Kaner and Tarasenko in OT? With Gustafsson?

Brutal. Absolutely horrible.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

That is an unacceptable loss. Unacceptable performance by vets like Gus, kane and tarasenko. I hope we waive tarasenko for that piss poor effort. Gustafson with the biggest low IQ turnover in the offensive zone I’ve seen. Gus should sit next game for that. Just terrible effort all around. That should have been 2 points in regulation. I hope they are getting chewed out bad.

 

[raymond23]

How do you possibly lose that game?

I’m at a loss for words

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Just dropping points, just ugly all around.

What can we realistically trade Tarasenko and Gustafsson for? Both players are neither short-term nor long-term solutions for this franchise.

Kane should fetch a decent haul at the deadline but he helps the powerplay at least. And the powerplay is all this team has going for it.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Tarasenko continuing to make Wings fans mad, no matter what sweater he is in.

Kanes not going anywhere neither is Gus. Tank will either be traded or waived. Especially after this game. They are not going to be happy with him.

We need to send him to a psychiatric hospital in Russia.

Totally agree. Too many plugs on this team. We have good players and good prospects but our roster is poorly constructed and Yzerman needs to do something fast.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Kaner and Tarasenko in OT? With Gustafsson?

Brutal. Absolutely horrible.

I call that the TTL-line. Time to lose Line.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I feel like OT goals against us are always goofy. Like what the hell was that...

 

[theYman]

What the hell happened? Check the score while at work and it was 3-1 then saw 4-3 loss ot

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Yeah that’s that tie goes to the vets mentality that I absolutely hate. It pops up a lot on our team. Tarasenko and gus at this point are losing player in their career, and Kane is heading that way.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Noticed all momentum was gone for 2nd pp in OT. Tarasenko picked the worst shots to take

 

[14ari13]

I feel like OT goals against us are always goofy. Like what the hell was that...

It was a strange and unlucky goal. We played a good game, but this time our PP lost us the game as they were sloppy on the PP and allowed 2 "SH" goals.
I thought it was a fun game to watch.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Losing Copp hurt way more than I thought it would.

McLellan didn't have it with the line blender nonsense after that. Hurt us bad.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Beat the crap outta the Ducks and I'll forgive.


Lose to the Ducks tho...

 

[RedWingzz]

What the hell happened? Check the score while at work and it was 3-1 then saw 4-3 loss ot

They collapsed, stopped playing hockey, thought the game was over, and pissed a point away.

Unacceptable loss that should not happen given the circumstances. They're going on a decade without a playoff game, there needs to be more urgency and intensity to put these games away.

Beat the crap outta the Ducks and I'll forgive.


Lose to the Ducks tho...

Yeah, if I've learned anything from watching this team every year, I've learned when things go bad, they go really bad.

I hope I'm wrong, but that's the type of loss to completely spiral the season out of control. This 2 game losing streak may turn into a 6 game losing streak, because when things go bad for this team, they can never stop the bleeding.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Ed played 20 minutes. And honestly looked a bit shaky out there at times.

Agree on forwards usage though. Too much Tank

Losing Copp hurt way more than I thought it would.

McLellan didn't have it with the line blender nonsense after that. Hurt us bad.

Copp was actually having a good game up until he injured himself with the weird high backhand grab in a scrum.
